Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen-fixing root nodulation in legumes challenged with nitrogen-limiting conditions requires infection of the root hairs by soil symbiotic bacteria, collectively referred to as rhizobia, and the initiation of cell divisions in the root cortex. Cytokinin hormones are critical for early nodulation to coordinate root nodule organogenesis and the progression of bacterial infections. Cytokinin signaling involves...
